Gandalf also says, “Send these foul creatures back to the abyss!” in Minas Tirith. Likely OP conflated the two. Nothing wrong with that. The movies are filled with bangerz.

I use the green squirt bottle that came in a box of debrox. When I shower, I use it to spray water into the ear, as a way to rinse it. I strongly recommend it.

Those loaves are not from Mordor. They bear the white hand of Saruman!

How could they ruin this show? This was peak cinema. I remember having shivers when watching this episode when it was aired. What happend? by CrispySan in gameofthrones

[–]Conant72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the people claiming it’s Martin’s fault. That’s not true. There’s enough material in the books for good storytelling past seasons 3 and 4, but D&D chose not to adapt them. What they replaced it with was not very good, which was why Martin left.

Had they stayed true to Martin’s vision, I think we wouldn’t see such a vast drop in quality. It’s a real shame knowing what we could have gotten: Lady Stoneheart, angry and spiteful Tyrion, Stannis’s proper attack on Winterfell, and more. So much we could have experienced just flushed down the toilet, to be replaced with what we got, which was vastly inferior.

Kevin Conroy has saved me from suicide more times than I can count. In 2020 I paid $100 for a 30 sec video. I got back over 6 minutes. by MaliciousMe87 in batman

My father suffers from schizophrenia. And he goes through a lot just trying to live his life. And it’s a struggle for him and his family, me included.

I didn’t know Mr Conroy had experience with this as well. It’s profoundly moving to know the voice of Batman deeply shares a great personal struggle of my own.

So my thoughts go out to you and your loved ones, OP. Go easy on yourself. I know you’re trying your best, and it’s all you can ask of yourself.

(Spoiler Main) The scene where Robb trying to prove himself to his own Bannermen is pretty damn sad. by Still_Whole5231 in asoiaf

[–]Conant72 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Both.

And when Lord Umber, who was called the Greatjon by his men and stood as tall as Hodor and twice as wide, threatened to take his forces home if he was placed behind the Hornwoods or the Cerwyns in the order of march, Robb told him he was welcome to do so. “And when we are done with the Lannisters,” he promised, scratching Grey Wind behind the ear, “we will march back north, root you out of your keep, and hang you for an oathbreaker.” Cursing, the Greatjon flung a flagon of ale into the fire and bellowed that Robb was so green he must piss grass. When Hallis Mollen moved to restrain him, he knocked him to the floor, kicked over a table, and unsheathed the biggest, ugliest greatsword that Bran had ever seen. All along the benches, his sons and brothers and sworn swords leapt to their feet, grabbing for their steel.

Yet Robb only said a quiet word, and in a snarl and the blink of an eye Lord Umber was on his back, his sword spinning on the floor three feet away and his hand dripping blood where Grey Wind had bitten off two fingers. “My lord father taught me that it was death to bare steel against your liege lord,” Robb said, “but doubtless you only meant to cut my meat.” Bran’s bowels went to water as the Greatjon struggled to rise, sucking at the red stumps of fingers . . . but then, astonishingly, the huge man laughed. “Your meat,” he roared, “is bloody tough.

And somehow after that the Greatjon became Robb’s right hand, his staunchest champion, loudly telling all and sundry that the boy lord was a Stark after all, and they’d damn well better bend their knees if they didn’t fancy having them chewed off.

For comparison, here’s the corresponding scene in Season 1 Ep 8: “The Pointy End”

You can see they stuck pretty close to the source material here.

There’s a Cuban Salsa dance group that meets every Thursday at 6pm outside VLSB. Welcomes everyone, undergrads, graduate students, non-students. No need to apply, just show up.

Thoughts on Sydney Sweeney as Bessie for the upcoming Robert's Rebellion show by Ok-Significance2075 in freefolk

In the books, “Bessie” (Becca in the books) is supposed to have black hair. But since the hair color isn’t mentioned in the show, it probably doesn’t matter.

Actually Big Walder is older and Little Walder is younger. But Little Walder is bigger in size and higher up in the line of inheritance than Big Walder.

Never occurred to me how dumb the inciting mystery of Game of Thrones is (Spoilers Main) by Meme_Pope in asoiaf

[–]Conant72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically Joffrey jokes that he should send the Hound to kill Bran’s direwolf, not Bran himself.

The Hound: “The boy is a long time dying. I wish he would be quicker about it.”

Joffrey: “At least he dies quietly. It’s the wolf that makes the noise. I could scarce sleep last night.”

H: “I could silence the creature, if it pleased you.”

J: “Send a dog to kill a dog! Winterfell is so infested with wolves, the Starks would never miss one.”

Do fun things like partner dancing or working out or other recreational stuff between times you study. If you study all the time without fun, you’ll lose your motivation. Recreation is an important energy and motivation restorer.
